So for people who know more about this sort of thing than I, would Game Outlet Europe be required to honor the contracts signed by JoWood, particularly the one signed with GOG?

They can't nullify existing contracts. They may no renew them if they are set to expire, but they can't cancel a legal contract from an entity they purchased.

Unless there's some clause in the contract specifically adressing such an issue then yes, they would need to honor existing contracts for their duration.

they can. you can always cancel a contract.

it might be (or might not be) very costly tough as when you cancel a contract you most of the time have to pay damages to the second party.

it all depends on how contract were written. how strong was gog position in negotiations, how good were the lawyers... of both sides.

After G3 and G4 i don't want to see Gothic again. They are all dead. They never made it from the island.

Game Outlet Europe

With a name like that you know you're dealing with some seriously imaginative and totally not emotionally dead people.

With the Gothic brand confirmed as back in Piranha Bytes' hands I wonder who the hell thought Jowood was worth anything.

I'm kind of sad about that as well. Because with Risen PB really stepped up their game and produced something that was, at the very least, good enough in every area. Fuck Gothic. It can't come close to competing with that.

I doubt GOG know for certain whats going to happen to the Jo Wood catalogue here, guess we will just wait and see, if Game Europe are getting money for cock all though, I dont see an issue with that continuing.
